Black Forest cake01 01 2003 - 00:05 - dessert - cake A cake that always wins the universal approval of food connoisseurs. A successful layering of moist chocolate cake and whipped cream, this delight is enlivened by the crisp tartness of cherries. It is prepared and baked the day before or in the morning of the day to be served; the cake is assembled, however, right before the meal.
